While looking through the Union records, I came across a child that had a sad story and I have been attempting to find her in the censuses but I am
struggling, this what the register states
Amy Lily White (or Leslie), born c1894, admitted to Lambeth Workhouse on 26 August 1899 until 12 September 1899, then transferred to the Union School until 18 Nov 1899
This child was found wandering in Brixton Road and was brought in by the Police, notices were circulated giving description of child. The child was
eventually adopted by Mr(could say Mr or Mrs) Neville of Gun Wharf House,
Gun Wharf Road, Portsmouth,
On 8th March 1905, Mr Neville applied to the board to re-admit the girl stating she was troublesome - board agreed, then on 21 June 1905 she returned to the Neville family, for adoption.
She would have been about 5 when adopted and 11 when sent back,
Can anyone locate her in the 1901?
